I got the itch too. More like a cabin fever. I'm up for wheelin but the XJ isn't. It's gonna sit in the garage 'til I have time to take a look at the front pinion bearings. It might be spring before that happens.
Take pictures if you're able to get out Bretto.

Could run out west somewhere... Rattlesnake/ Constrictor. Out past Little Moab, maybe on Sat morning.

Rattlesnake/constrictor sounds like a plan.......I have never been out there as a matter of fact. Maybe a few others will chime in who would want to go.

Rattlesnake can be done in a modified, but open rig. Constrictor, the bigger the tires the better and lockers HIGHLY recommended.

It's so bad, I would not take a Subaru through it... But I would take a stock XJ, just need a winch and a strap 7 or 8 times.. Joking.. With this weather it will make everything kinda fun(interesting)(HEHE). Ya, I can get us out there, show you which way to go, I'll hang back and take pics...HA.

10 a.m. at the Cheveron, at the crossroads sounds good to me! who's all coming?
Jeepin, if your rig is modified at all, we should be able get you through it.

Have you guys checked the weather? it's going to be in the middle 50's so it should be real muddy out there. I think I might join you but Moab is calling me south, I need some warmer weather. I live right up the hill from the cheveron so if i'm not up for the long ride south I will see you @ the cheveron.

Yea Keith a little of this weeks moisture and the brown stuff should make it interesting....hope you will come along.
Not sure who is all coming....got a few maybe's but I guess its all a matter of seeing who shows up that counts.

Yea I'll be there, Moab is feeling a little too far. You know me with mud I love the stuff, makes things real spooky sometimes. I will see you at the cheveron, did we nail down a solid time?

AARRRGGH! I should've checked these posts yesterday!

I'm DYING to get out wheeling and have always wanted to do RS/Con... But right now my XJ is untowable and uninsured. BUT I just got the 2nd locker in and the rockrails on so I really really really wanted to take it out. Well, post up some pics upon your return.

can't do eagles nest my xj sits to low so i go up to that and turn around probably could winch eagles nest but i think it's funner to go back down some trails and i never said i made it easy without my front end engaged
